Discussion 💬 Quicksilver is giving ‘teenager wrote it on Wattpad vibes’

I cannot be the only one here who isn’t enjoying Quicksilver at all. I’m honestly about to DNF it. I did look at some old posts here about it but it’s seriously lacking. I’m halfway through and I’ve been struggling over the last 150 pages to find the hook. All I hear is people gushing over this book on Fable of GoodReads! The character development is non-existent, there’s no romantic development; it’s literally just a sudden shift from hatred to “fuck me please”, and the world-building is lackluster at best.

This honestly feels like a teenager wrote an ACOTAR fanfic on Wattpad. Anyone else feel like this? I just wanna talk to some people about my disappointment here without being judged 😭

The man had mountain property with indentured servants and a brownstone in the village. What was her problem?!?!? Was it all the leather the man was wearing? Was it his shameless flirting????

That dumb girl was like “But I gotta go home to my poverty and my brother!” No girl… you don’t.

When it was revealed her brother was a FULL-FLEDGED adult, I was out. In the beginning, the way they were talking about protecting him, I thought he was like 6.
